FORUM

Hello - I am new to the forum. I have searched existing threads and have not seen particular recommendations for Builders. Is this allowed? If so can anyone recommend a someone who can take down a few walls, add a conservatory, alter the layout of a kitchen and lay new floor tiles. And - yes- what seems to really upset people on the forum - we do need them to speak English.

I have seen the list on this website but are these recommendations or just opportunities for advertising.

We have a small property in St Cyprien Plage.

Hi Dorothy
Fist, check the directory part of the Anglophone-Direct. You might find someone there.

If not your fancy in the directory, you might be able to contact Nikko or Urbain. Both are German lads and both run their own business. You can meet both of them in the bar in Laroque. This place is called Casa Mimi. If you don't know where this is located, any of the locals can direct you to the bar. Mimi, from Casa Mimi, is Nikko's wife and she can tell you to contact. Urbain visits this bar most nights too.

Whether they work in St.Cyprien, I don't know. Both do a lot of work in the Alberes region.

Oh, both lads speak English.

Hi
Yes, as BD says, it is worth trying our directory of even better our English speaking services in PO Life if you have that, as we check that people advertising in it speak english before we put them in. (Well, we ask - we don't actually test them!!!) The following certainly speak english (in fact most of them are english)

Hi Dorothy,

I have used PH Insulations for some building work at our place & have no complaints with either his prices or the quality of work. I have also used the electrician Robert Morley who advertises on the front page who is also a very good tiler / plumber.

Hi Dorothy and welcome.

We used IGC Renovation, Alexi, was excellent, very friendly, good English, kept to our budget and kept to time scale would highly recommend.
Hope this helps.

My uncle is a professional architect. Maybe he can help you with your problem. I will discuss that to him and I will get in touch with you what was the result.

We e used Phil Ward from St Andre....he is the best artisan ( tradesman) I have come across....everything problem has always been solved as a professional and the highest quality of work at all times...no short cuts to make it look ok but all work done to last and work prpoerly...his number is 0468 89 15 60 and 0679 38 90 06....give him a call...he will be happy to provide a quote...

A little late for the OP I think.........3 years later, I should hope they have a lovely finished property!

rebecca14 appears to be one of these spammy things that Peter was talking about the other week.

I've deleted the hyperlink and removed rebecca from the memberlist.

Well spotted, Opas!

You'll look great in a mini skirt with high heel boots and stripy tights, I'm sure Colin!

I used Urban the German many years ago to put up a ceiling fan. He was having some bother putting it up and some choice German swear words were coming out of his mouth. He was blaming the fan and going on about useless French fans. My brother-in-law looked up at him and calmly said, "It's says made in Germany on this box."

Probably look a damn sight better than me!
Hmmmm, well maybe not! I've seen his knobbly knees!!

Surely what Colin does in his spare time in the privacy of his own home is a matter for him,Thumbs!! ??
